Pre-match thread: Rapid Vienna v Aston Villa

[NorthYvillan]

I think/hope it will be a draw - preferably a score draw

[TheSandman]

Rapid Vienna 0-2 Aston Villa
                            Albrighton
                            Delfouneso

A relatively young team will go to Austria and put on a performance to be proud of.

[Simon Ward]

I've gone for a draw but hope for a win.

[Monty]

What'll the team be? I think a mix of youth and experience, but I'm not sure how it will manifest itself. Maybe Bannan and Weimann will come in?

[Chipsticks]

1-0 Vienna in this leg. Though another 3-0 romping for us in the home fixture.

Anyone on here going?

[The Man With A Stick]

It will be interesting to see if we play the kids, like O'Neill was planning to do.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Away goal is vital, as we found out last year losing 1-0 away is a very bad result in Europe, whereas losing 2-1 is not too bad.

Having said that I fancy 1-1.

[darren woolley]

I think it will be 2-1 to the villa with a.young scoring first and carew the second. 

[Dr Butler]

must get a goal in the away leg.

[JJ-AV]

What team do we reckon KMac will go with? Nige, Delfouneso and Heskey to start?

[peter w]

It'll be difficult seeing as their season satrted in mid-July so they will be ahead of us on the fitness stakes. but, its easy to forget that we were poor defensively twice against them last season and that was without Warnock, Young, Dunne, and whoever will play as centre-half next to Dunne. I expect us to win boith legs this one 2-0, or 2-1.

[evalast1910]

3-0 to villa.

[Toronto Villa]

What team do we reckon KMac will go with? Nige, Delfouneso and Heskey to start?

I can see Nige coming in for Milner and givng some exta bite in the away leg. Maybe even swapping roles with Stan

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Yep, 1-1.
Which should set us up nicely.
